This is an interesting report, aimed at University Presses going to
online models, but with some very good ideas about organizing large
web projects.

An excerpt: "In an age when traditional content producers – including
scholarly publishers and newspapers – struggle to maintain their
financial footing in face of the challenges of the digital world,
[they] cannot turn to lessons of the past to find their way, but must
see themselves as nimble players in a quickly shifting field.

This paper, researched and written with the support of the Strategic
Content Alliance and JISC in the U.K., suggests that a significant
change in mindset is called for among leaders ... in order to better
compete in the new digital environment."
